Hi Helmet,
Greeting from the USA! I was stationed in Germany for three
years in the seventies. I absolutely adored Germany and
still miss it at times.
An ftp server can be set up to require a username and password.
And that can be different than the Windows user name and password.
That should throw a wrench in the works! And there is always
write only and read only accounts. Wonder if you would get away
with that in Samba?
